I have to give a great review to our Gainesville Post Office. They were great help with the mail service for my father-in-law!!!

!00% amazing customer service! The gentleman doing passports (Wish I could remember his name .... Patrick, perhaps??) was amazing. I'd inadvertently done the paperwork incorrectly. He, sharp as a tack and quick as a whip, told me how to correct it, and made everything great! Huge thanks to him!

June 3rd and it still hasn’t arrived to its destination I’ve gone to ask twice first I’m told it’s been delivered but no one has picked it up and second time I’m told it’s on its way but very slowly. Very irritating.

Please open an investigation for tampering with mail and evidence. My mail is being withheld from one employee but I’m afraid it might be others too. Terrible!!! Speaks so highly of this place.
